Hi I’m Mike Curry I’m 64 years old and That’ was awesome watching the test of pro up graded it made my mind up to buy one thank you july 6 th 2023 love that Helmet thank you again
Great review! We bought 2 of these a month ago and we love them. Heavy though, also still big when folded. Although we get both in our Hyundai Tuscan and we can now take these bikes when towing the caravan. The power is amazing and the ride position is good. So far so great!
I've been thinking about getting this bike. All the other videos mostly show what it can do at its max. I really learned alot from your video because you used the bike in every setting showing what it can do. Thanks for the great in depth video
Please be careful when considering this company. Their customer service is extremely unsatisfactory and my personal experience was quite negative. I was unable to have a broken display replaced even after waiting for almost 8 months.
@@chaoyizhang2360 Hi did you ever get your display? They have agreed my charger is faulty but have done nothing to replace it except say they sent one also I am trying to proove battery faulty I can only get about 12 miles on a full charge and its getting really hot I think they want me to blow myself up. In under 2 months my list of serious issues is endless. I am in the uk not sure where you are do we have any consumer rights against faulty parts ? or is our money long gone? If nothing else I am going to make sure the whole world knows not to buy their pieces of crap !
One thing i love about this ebike, is the wheels, ive had 2 other branded ebikes with the normal spoked wheels, and after a year i noticed my spokes started to break, and no bike shops would touch replacing them as it was a ebike hub, im glad this one has a all in one construction, and was one of the main reasons why i purchased it
Great bike Scott, I was in love with this frame on the 16AH Engine Pro $1399 and the 12.8AH Polarna M4 $1199... I ended up getting it on the 12.8AH EUY Auloor $799 ! ! ! Totally love this suspension!
Great video Scott, very informative and detailed. I like this Engwe pro bike a lot and I am looking to buy one and looking at lots of reviews and bikes, this is definitely shortlisted as one of my favourites so far.
Just ordered this bike but its nice to see a decent review on it. You made me feel like i made the right decision in this bike. Also wish i used your code to buy 😅 lol oh well
@alankerrigan It has been great. No regrets. Battery life is dependable. I commute to work which is about 12 miles total to and and from. The only thing which I have seen people mention is to DEFINITELY tighten all screws. Some are just a little loose when you get it. I rode and my handle bars came loose. But overall I am happy with my purchase. Would recommend 👌
Great review! I really like the added visualizations like the stopping distance metric or folded bike dimensions, well done. I have the same bike for a year now and Im really happy with its performance. I have to say on a fully charged battery the speeds are a bit higher😀
Agree with you on torque, but there is things they need fix, those default crank shafts are very bad quality, a lot people, myself included lost one pedal just after few weeks of riding cause those threads will be eaten away and then your pedal will just fall to ground one day. Also must mention those fenders, they are awful, making sounds when you drive and a lot of people had accidents with them by fender coming loose and wedging on wheel making biker crash, luckily had no accidents but removed fenders because of noise they make. Also would be nice to have an actual full gas throttle on RIGHT side of handlebars, not thumb one on WRONG side :)
This is the updated version. they changed how the fender are now, mine do not go down and touch the frame as the old ones did. They also make no noise at all (you would have heard it in the video). I haven't put enough miles on it to experience the crank/pedal issue but I am hoping they had also fixed that with this new mode. Did you know you can replace your thumb throttle for a half twist throttle. I have seen a couple of YT videos on how to do it.
Awesome review, love all the different PAS and speed/range tests. I'm a big guy too at 220 lbs and it get frustrating seeing reviews by guys at 160 lbs all the time.
To be honest, I don't like this company. I purchased the same model one year ago, which had a 13 AH battery and a different display that didn't show the accurate percentage of battery. The display always showed a high level between 50% and 100%, and dropped drastically when the battery level was below 50%. This made it difficult for me to estimate the real battery level. Additionally, their customer service is very poor. When my moving company broke the display, I contacted them to get a replacement, but I never received the package. I have been waiting for over 6 months! Overall, the basic specs of the ebike may be great, but it fails to satisfy me.
I haven't had the chance to see about their customer support as I have not had any issues with either of the Engwe bikes, but it's always good to hear from those who have dealt with it. Sorry to hear about your issues with them and I hope I don't have to use customer support. They did a lot of updates to the new model as you can see and I don't feel like I have had the same issues that you have had so far. They did get beat up a lot about that older version that's why they updated it.
I bought the newest version of the engine pro few months ago and I had a problem with the kickstand. After sending some emails with videos and photos about what the problem was, they just told me that I will receive a replacement for the kickstand, and the problem was solved. So yeah maybe I've been lucky with that or the costumer service has change idk. And yes what you mentioned about the percentage of the battery feels the same in the new model
Is that the blue color? Looks stunning, hopefully i will buy this bike in a few days... My Life would be so much easy, i had a bike before and it was only 250w, cant wait to try the 750w power
Thank you for your comprehensive reviews. I truly appreciate all the hard work you do. This really helps me - who is so overwhelmed about choosing an e-bike. I plan to get back to Chicago asap and this review was splendid about what factors I need to consider in a purchase. Big hugs 🫂 😊!
Hey. Thanks so much for the insightful review, I’m looking at e-bikes and trying to find 1 that will cover all the bases I’m looking for. This 1 seems to be good curious to see if parts are easy to get for it. That being said great review and thanks for being so in-depth.
Great review as usual. This looks like a great bike at a great price. This is really the first bike that I have seen you review that makes me think a little about my Aventure 2 purchase.
@@scotthardesty Thanks for the response. Yeah no regrets on my A2, I love it and Aventon customer service has been great. I have not had any big issues but they have been very responsive. Seems like they are really trying to build a community around their product and I appreciate that too. But the A2 is pretty big and bulky this foldable with the options that it has at this price, would be a fun backup.
I'm shocked that it was still delivering so much assistance at such a low battery level. I've never experienced that in any e-bike brand. Too bad ghost pedaling is my single biggest pet peeve! Awesome review for an awesome e-bike.
I really like your video,easy to follow and understand 😂I only have one gripe my height,I’m only 5’4 so that seat being able to be lowered is perfect,great job.
@@scotthardesty No Thank you. Credit where credits due. Your info covered every question i had written down, then you went the extra 2mile. Ok you got the steering rod a little mixed up. But on the back of your review i purchased the bike knowing exactly what i was getting for my pound. At the point of this text i have assembled the bike and have it on it's first full charge. Can't wait to hit the streets. Keep doing your thing. ✌
@@scotthardesty When i tell you i must have watched 20-25 videos on the E-PRO-UP i'm not exaggerating. The video i watched where the fella assembled the steering rod incorrectly was probably just prior to watching yours. Once again i apologise. Do you have any advice on maintaining optimum battery life?
I have a Vanpowers Manidae; very quick and solid. I originally wanted a foldable, but couldn't stand the styles or ride. However, at the right price and options, this Enguie is intriguing.
I also have a Vanpowers Manidae, it's been at the bike shop for a couple of months now. The front fork seized and I can't get Vanpowers to send me a new fork. They have asked me to find a fork and put it on and they will pay for it, but we are not able to find a fork that works without replacing the front rim as well. At this point, I just told them to send me a new Manidae. Their customer service is clearly not the greatest as I now have a bike I haven't been able to ride since last year. The bike only has 53 miles on it. I hope you don't have an issue with yours.
Nice video and test but the reason why its kicking off slowly is because you are not using the gears correct it should be in number 4 or 5 when you are starting off and then when you hit 10 mph you switch to 6 and you keep doing that until its hitted gear 8 and if you do that you will have a much smoother ride
¡Gracias! He descubierto que a las empresas les gusta anunciar la potencia máxima de sus motores en lugar de la potencia normal del motor. Por eso me gusta decirle a la gente la verdad.
Hi i noticed you never mentioned the engine pro has battery regeneration, iv seen on other videos works really well, maybe you could do a feature on this?
I do mentioned it... twice. I talk about how it is not really helpful and doesn't work in my situation. Unless I am riding down a mountain doing over 20mph and applying the brake, it's not going to regenerate at all. Even then, the power it would put back to the battery is not enough to make a difrerence. It's a great idea but it falls way short in reality.
Yeah I hear you horses for courses I guess, if we're not doing hills up and down constantly it has very little input, I was impressed on one video I watched the guy go up this mountain and it fully regenerated on the way back down, so guess yes it's an excellent idea to have but not a deciding factor on purchasing, thanks 👍
I have now subscribed to this brilliant channel as it is very informative. I would definitely love to win this bike but I reckon i do not stand a chance since I live in England. But hey i can dream can’t I ? 👍🏽
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. The helmet is the giveaway, not the bike, so if that company ships to the UK and you win, it could be possible!
Which one you think is more suitable for long day of work (I'm food delivery guy) Will you advise me please between this bike and that electric scooter from ausom ?
I would say this bike. I dig that scooter but would not want to use it for food delivery. With the Engine Pro, you can attach the food bag to the back. You can't do that with the scooter.
Thanks Jim. I like them both. I do like how a cadence sensor is more just a “plug and play” type setting. You know in PAS 3 you are going to go a certain speed. But, with a torque sensor, I feel you are more connected with the bike and can control how fast you go by how hard you pedal. I’m just blessed to have both.
I'm puzzle as to why you pretty much ignored the regenerative braking feature on this bike. I mean you did mention it but just barely. You could have demonstrated it on that hill that ride up and down multiple times or on the range test you could have turned it on to extend your range whenever you coasted on a slope. Its flat terrain where you live but extremely hilly where I live which is why I'm considering buying this bike. As much hill climbing as I have to do I wanted to know if the regen feature would help out some of that power back on the downhills. I have a 350w class1 ebike already but it barely helps on the steep hills around here. A throttle is not an option on my bike either.
I personally don't feel you get enough regeneration from the bike to make a valid reason on why someone would purchase it. I also do live in the mountains or someplace where I can coast down a hill for miles just to get a little juice. I did some research before this review and hadn't seen a single review showing that it was a benefit.
Not sure. For some reason, I feel some people were able to remove the throttle completely and it still worked. I am in a couple Engwe facebook groups. Maybe you can find your answer in one of those.
I took my new Engine Pro out today and the bike went 23 Miles and had 20% battery left then went instantly to 0% battery and died. I thought I would still have 5-10 miles left but NOPE. Instantly dead. My other ebike will go 5 miles in low power mode when the battery shows 0. Probably returning this one, maybe I just got a lemon?
@@scotthardesty many of the ebikes from China use thicker tubing in the racks, maybe in US it's different but in UK most of the market pannier bags are made to fit onto a thinner tube section, so it's seems to be common problem unless you buy the official bag from manufacturer, which is a pain if you already own a few bags
I understand how it works . But unless your in Kansas, in the middle of no where why do you want to go more then 8 miles per hour ? It’s a bike . Not a motor cycle .
What is your body weight , this can make a difference for riders, obviously a lighter person will be better results and a heavier person get lesser results.
When I tested this bike I took it until the battery was drained. Since I added the distance in this review, I have not done another distance test with it.
I prefer honest ( not paid for /sponsered ) reviews .. Of course it gets high praises , It's sales gimmick . meanwhile in the real world . So many problems with the bike and even worse customer services . Would I purchase another Engwe bike ? . Hell no . I would sooner pay more and get a decent bike with proper customer services
Spot on the money all these freebie vids are the same it’s the best thing sliced bread ! Come on let’s be real no reviewer getting free hand outs is going to bite the hand that feeds them
I can only go off what I know. When I reviewed this bike, this is what I found good with it. Now.... If I would have kept it and put 1k miles on it, that might be a different story. I have no issue saying what sucks about a bike. You should see the Engwe X26 video.
Sounds like you should start doing "honest" reviews. If I would have had an issue with this bike I would have said it and shown it on film. You should see the issues I had with the Engwe X26. The bike performed excellent... now, if I put 1k miles on it, then I am sure this review would be different, but I can only give an "honest" view at the time of reviewing the bike.
@@scotthardesty true but giving a review after what 10 miles isn’t really a challenge! Might as well just take it out the box and say yep it’s great sorry but like all these freebie RU-vidrs the reviews all suck and are just utter crap personally I wouldn’t even trust anything they state
@@grumpygrandpa3640 Sorry man. Don't have time to own a bike for a year before review it. Like I said... maybe you should be doing reviews. Thanks for watching!
Do you really think in China where they design and manufacture most of these e bikes, had someone like Yau Ming come in and test the 6 foot 9 inches over limit for height?... So they had a 6'8" guy say its an "ALL GO" and a 6'9"+ guy like nope "NOGO" bikes too small for me lol. These height ranges just are too funny. Most guys around 6'4" say its pushing limits..6'8".. No Way..
This bike's a rip-off for $1400 and only 55nm of torque, might as well be a 500W motor...you can get a dual suspension 1000W motor with about 75-90nm of torque for less than a grand now.
Actually it is not. I saw other reviews where it said 80Nm. and in the notes they sent me said it was 55Nm.. so I reached back out to Engwe and they CONFIRMED that its only 55Nm. Even their website says its 55Nm. They also asked me who is saying its 80Nm and wanted me to send the links to the videos.
@@scotthardesty Wonder how of you RU-vidrs are right. This guy also claims he talked to Engwe and got that Engwe Pro has 80nm nd the EP 2 pro has 55. Some differences must it be if this video is real ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UapoVtYPJpY.html
@@RutgerJonaker Check Engwe's website, they say the Engine Pro only has 55Nm. Not sure what these other guys do or say but I know I am right. Also, if the Engine Pro had 80Nm of torque, it would have had no issues during my hill test.
I totally understand. Unfortunately, I have too many bikes to ride them all a ton of miles to see if they will fall apart. I had someone who wanted to buy this from me, but before I sold it to them, I did put it on a mtb trail to see if would survive.
Ignore the women below who’s negatively commenting about Chinese bikes on multiple video threads? She says the same same thing in each thread. She’s obviously nuts or has a hidden engender.
Cheap components vastly overpriced death traps. These presenters are reminiscent of market traders selling dodgy beef. Latter day Del boys making hay before punters come to their senses.
Interesting. The only time I had an issue with this bike, I reached out to customer support and they got me the part I needed. Seemed pretty easy to me. Since then, this bike has been riding like a champ and given no issues.
